As far as when to take them, you'll see the male flowers open up. When they open up is when the pollen gets released. You'll probably wake up one day to see that a couple of fans have a yellow or white powder on top of em (assuming airflow is a minimum). I'm positive there are better explanations on this site than I can provide, but the idea is to contain some of that pollen into a STERILE, DRY container. Then you use a small brush to put the pollen on a couple lower buds of the plant you want to inseminate. It only takes a single grain of pollen to attach to a single pistil to create a seed in the attached calyx. Nature takes over from there.

I saw Rusty dropped in, as I'm sure he has more experience with this than me, maybe he can tidy my explanation up a bit for ya.

Thanks irydyum as i much apreciate the info. This one was in the ground and has a lot of balls on it. I sorta thought i didnt need it to go that deep into growing it, but i guess the pollen needs to be growen. This will be interesting as heck mam. To make my own seed, then grow it out, well dosnt get much more effichent then that.

Thanks again man:rasta:
